SVG Asteroid Symbols[edit]

I really like your SVG "redraws" of James Hilton's scans of B.A. Gould's sketches of asteroid symbols. I note that on some of the SVG's you're using PD-old and others PD-user. I can understand the confusion, as my earlier attempt to describe them accurately indicates the cumbersome pedigree of these images. Since it is clear you wish your own contribution to be PD, would it make sense to use this, admittedly awkward, license: 

In so far as this work may contain any original work of my own, I, [[User:Editor at Large|Editor at Large]], hereby publish it under the following license:
{{PD-self}}
This work is based on James Hilton's scans of B.A. Gould's sketches.  [[:en:Benjamin Apthorp Gould | B.A. Gould]] died in 1896:
{{PD-Art}}

If you're curious as to what that would look like, you can see an example here. Thoughts? —RP88 04:56, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

An offering for our new administrator from your comrades...

Editor at Large, congratulations! You now have administrator rights on Commons. Please take a moment to read the Commons:Administrators page and watchlist related pages (in particular Commons:Administrators' noticeboard and its subpages), before launching yourself into page deletions, page protections, account blockings or modifications of protected pages. The majority of the actions of administrators can be reversed by the other admins, except for history merges which must thus be treated with particular care. Have a look at the list of Gadgets (on the bottom there are the ones specifically for admins – however, for example the UserMessages are very helpful too).

Please feel free to join us on IRC: #wikimedia-commons webchat on irc.libera.chat. There is also a channel for Commons admins, which may be useful for more sensitive topics, or coordination among administrators: #wikimedia-commons-admin webchat.

You may find Commons:Guide to adminship to be useful reading. You can find the admin backlog overview at COM:AB.

Please also check or add your entry to the List of administrators and the related lists by language and date it references.

A request[edit]

Hey girlie! I was wondering if you could help me with something (something banal and non-admin-like :p) Can you add a transparency to this image? I'm terrible with this sort of thing, and you're really good at it :) Take your time, it's not urgent. Cheers! riana_dzasta 04:25, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

congratulations![edit]

Belated congratulations, I didn't even know you were not an administrator and were up for a vote. So welcome and congratulations to you :-)

I took a number of images of "Gemma" in the Kunsthistorisches Museum. Do you think it is possible to completely eliminate any background, make it transparent, and focus only on the image? They are Image:Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna June 2006 038.jpg, Image:Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna June 2006 037.jpg, Image:Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna June 2006 035.jpg, Image:Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna June 2006 033.jpg, Image:Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna June 2006 031.jpg. thanks alot Gryffindor 10:39, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the info. You are the expert, do as you please. Do you wanna try in that case making the jpg. background white as well as fix some lighting issues first? The png. can wait in that case if you think it would be too large. cheers Gryffindor 08:33, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:Round_gingersnaps.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikimedia Commons (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page. If the content is a derivative of a copyrighted work, you need to supply the names and a licence of the original authors as well.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag, then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{self|cc-by-sa-2.5}} to release it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license or {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find all your uploads using the Gallery tool. Thank you.

I do not think what you are doing is appropriate[edit]

Is this the way deletion debates happen on Commons? A guy complains, an admin pops up and...bang you're done? The imaginary issue with the image is not listed in Commons:Deletion guidelines, I did not see any discussion, so changing the name of the image on projects looks very inappropriate. Can you explain this process? Bradipus 20:32, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am told my message may be a bit harsh. Please do not take it too personnally. I was flabergasted by your move, but did put the message on you talk page so you can clean it afterwards ;-) Bradipus 20:46, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I did not see that the events were in the reverse order. Sorry. I am just having trouble in people loosing their time in what appears useless to me. And of course I wanted at least to see some discussion on the subject. Bradipus 21:07, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hello,
I think that Editor at Large is right here. The term "Jap" could be insulting, so renaming the image is quite appropriate. Regards, Yann 21:03, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Heads up to passing admins![edit]

Hi - hope you don't mind, not many online. Two new users with "inappropriate" user names (you'll find them in the user/block logs). Just think it could be worth keeping an eye. Cheers --Herby talk thyme 10:57, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
